  • 1.  How to get the incoming API request sent to z/OS Connect

    Posted Thu February 20, 2025 10:08 AM

    Hi IBM Support

    Please assist, we would like to configure z/OS Connect to show the incoming API request sent to z/OS Connect server and the client ID of the user who sent the request. Please provide guidance on how to configure this on the server.xml file.

    Kind Regards

    Magdeline Mabusela

    Hi Magdeline,

    Using the z/OS Connect SMF 123 records allows you to monitor this information. Our documentation describes how to configure SMF 123 for both Open API 3 and Open API 2, and also the fields within the records, for example SMF123S1_USER_NAME, SMF123S1_USER_NAME_MAPPED, and SMF123S1_CLIENT_IP_ADDR which are likely of use to you.

    Liberty HTTP access logging may also be of interest.

    Kind regards,

    Jack Dunning - z/OS Connect.
